Illegal Glove

[Duke]

Recieved this from my state UIC from Kevin Ryan.

Dave and Staff,

There is apparently a new glove out on the market that has the fingers sewn together except for the last inch or so. After reviewing the web site data and picture it is my opinion this glove is not a glove but a mitt. Therefore it would be illegal for infielders, except first baseman and catchers in ASA Championship play. The glove is made by a company called Akadema and is called the reptilian infielder model. Please make your staffs and folks in your area aware of this. The web you can see this glove on is here. Click here and then click on the Akadema logo.





Thanks for the help;
